About This Event
The Freetown Village Singers will bring history to life through an engaging blend of storytelling and song, preserving African American traditions through traditional folk music and Negro spirituals. These spirituals have long offered strength—healing, comfort, inspiration, and hope—and their messages remain deeply relevant today. Through rich a cappella harmonies and captivating narratives, the Singers interpret the deeper meanings behind songs once heard in churches, fields, and gathering places more than a century ago. Come listen, learn, and be moved as the Freetown Village Singers share this essential American music and reveal the often‑hidden messages woven into its lyrics—messages that continue to speak to us now.
